I have my eye on this bag too and where I'm from on the West Coast it does rain a lot. On researching it on Ebay, the lister posted some detailed info (I've been to the KATA website and though I didn't thoroughly research it, they may have mentioned it as well). Here is what it said on the ebay listing:
Innovations from Kata
Kata has been developing lightweight carrying and protective equipment for military, law enforcement, and the professional video industry for 17 years! Discover the ergonomic and tough technology tested under fire by professionals, to withstand the rigors of daily use, to protect your investment in equipment.
TST-Thermo Shield Technology
State of art solution that gives the perfect protection for the digital equipment while creating an extremely light product. The outer surface of the TST is thermo-formed in a protective "rib-shape" construction. It is made of Super Nylon® - a MIL Spec, double cord, WATER and dust proof, high tenacity and abrasion resistant fabric.
Underneath, a cross-linked, closed cell PE+EVA shield is impact and shock protective while providing a comprehensive insulation against cold, heat, and moisture.
I'm assuming that all KATA products have this, since this was listed on the ebay product for the T-214 torso pack. Hope this helps! I know it's been a while since you posted, but if someone else is interested I'm sure they will find this info helpful :)
